... if someone is convicted beyond all doubt that they are guilty of crimes such as Sutcliffe, Brady, Hindley, West & Bronson then why should they not be given the death penalty. they should never be allowed to be released from prison! so why have the expense of keeping them?

Because it's barbaric.
Because it puts the State in the hypocritical position of "Do as I say, not as I do".
Because it doesn't work as a deterrent.
Because it's actually more expensive than keeping people in jail.

fazerider, i have read this myself about a couple of weeks ago -ref to it is more expensive to execute someone than keep them in jail for life , im not questioning you.........but how the HELL is it more expensive for a six foot length of rope and a kick stool , rather than paying guards,cell maintenance keeping the cell full,care work,health ect ect of someone like peter sutcliffe ?  like i said ,im not questioning you  :evil
